Here's a mystery

Rocky has a few black whiskers, too, and he's red like your Punkin. His brother Oliver, who is red and white, has no black whiskers.
I've wondered about that myself . . .

I don't have an answer, but I had to say -- he is one handsome dude!

What a gorgeous boy!
Popsie's whiskers are all white except for one. There is a black one above his eye.
I think you may be right about the whiskers coming in black and turning white but I can't say for sure. My friend's cat is about 17 years old now and he used to have black whiskers but now they are all white. Personally I think it's a lot like human hair. As we age, our hair turns gray/white, and I think the color of the whiskers could be a clue to the age of a cat.

He's gorgeous. I think the black whiskers add a distinguishing look.
Most of Nikita's whiskers start out black and then turn white. Don't know why that happens really.
Edit: For clarification, they are black at the root and then white at the tip. I.e two colours in the same whisker at the same time, they don't change colour from all black to all white.
